- Cleaning cutting boards – Apply the paste to wood or plastic cutting boards that have absorbed stains from food. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then scrub gently and rinse.
- Brightening fingernails – If your nails have yellowed from polish or age, this paste can help restore their natural color.
- Removing tea or coffee stains from mugs – Dip a cloth into the paste and rub it onto the inside of stained mugs. Rinse well.
Important Safety Tips
- Do not use this paste on your face or skin near your eyes. Lemon juice can sting and cause irritation.
- Do not use on open cuts, broken skin, or irritated areas.
- Rinse thoroughly after use to remove any residue.
- Do not use gel toothpaste or toothpaste with colored stripes — plain white toothpaste works best.
- If you have sensitive skin, test the paste on a small area first.
